The Music of Central Asia series is a co-production of the Aga Khan Music Initiative in Central Asia, a program of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, and Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. The partnership seeks to revitalize and assure the onward transmission of musical traditions in regions where they are endangered, and to cultivate the creative processes that lead to artistic innovation and evolution. This groundbreaking series began in 2006 with Vols. 13, followed with Vols. 46 in 2007 and Vols. 79 in 2010. Vol. 10 is the final volume of the series.
